Repair Affair Day

2013 will mark the 20th anniversary of this community service project that is a one day event in June that allows HBASE members to volunteer their time and expertise to someone in need. Since 1993, more than 120 repair projects have been completed with a total of more than 3,500 man hours from more than 800 HBASE member volunteers. The focus of Repair Affair is on adapting the home for the elderly and/or disabled. More details
